Black History Month

The 2025 theme of Black History Month is "African Americans and Labor”.

The 2025 Black History Month theme, African Americans, and Labor, focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds – free and unfree, skilled, and unskilled, vocational and voluntary – intersect with the collective experiences of Black people. Indeed, work is at the very center of much of Black history and culture. Be it the traditional agricultural labor of enslaved Africans that fed Low Country colonies, debates among Black educators on the importance of vocational training, self-help strategies and entrepreneurship in Black communities, or organized labor’s role in fighting both economic and social injustice, Black people’s work has been transformational throughout the U.S., Africa, and the Diaspora.

Black Clarksville is dedicated to celebrating and supporting the rich culture, history, and contributions of the Black community in Clarksville, Tennessee. We host several events throughout the year focusing on highly curated events during Black History Month. This year, we are pleased to offer two highly signature Black History Month programs.
